In Love with the Love Lane "Mahatituck"......

One of our favorite discoveries of the late summer and early fall has been Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck.  Love Lane Kitchen manages to balance a family friendly atmosphere with sophistication and a first rate menu, wine list and cocktail offerings.

For now, my favorite restaurant cocktail of the minute is the restaraunt's version of the Manhattan  called "The Mahatituck" which I have had on a couple of recent occassions.  The key ingredients seem to be the use of the sublime antica red vermouth along with (what appear to be) bourbon soaked dark cherries.   This is the best drink I have had since we frequented the late, great Riverhead Project.
